DNR Update -
Dept. of Natural Resources is working through the Wildlife Code in order to bring it into compliance with the Firearm Concealed Carry Act. They plan to have a webpage up by early March which will note changes to DNR regulations.

Currently, the IL DNR states there is no prohibition on concealed carry while boating or fishing if license holder is not in a prohibited area - such as Cook Co. Forest Preserve.

Module 4 - Transportation LawPage 24, No. 4: Due to the statewide preemptive transportation law the following needs to be changed: You may keep a firearm in your hotel room while traveling in Illinois assuming no local ordinance applies. The critical question is how the firearm was carried into the room and transported in a vehicle. Those actions must be done lawfully. However, (quoting Illinois Law) the regulation, licensing, possession, registration, and transportation of handguns and ammunition for handguns by licensees are exclusive powers and functions of the State.

A correction noted by an IllinoisCarry member pertains to BB guns:

Regarding 430 ILCS 65 1.1 For purpose of this Act: {*i.e. the definitions*}

On page 13 CLIC says "Firearm" means ... "(1) any pneumatic gun, spring gun, paint ball gun, or B-B gun which expels a single globular projectile not exceeding 0.18 inch in diameter AND which has a muzzle velocity of less than 700 feet per second;"

That used to be the law, but it was changed to allow BB guns with higher muzzle velocities and if you look up that section today, the AND has been replaced with OR.

"The Supreme Court has decided that the amendment confers a right to bear arms for self-defense, which is as important outside the home as inside." -Moore v. Madigan, 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, December 11, 2012

I have a question about the Transportation Power Point. In slide 5 it reads

•You may keep a firearm in your hotel room while traveling in Illinois assuming no local ordinance applies. The critical question is how the firearm was carried into the room and transported in a vehicle. Those actions must be done lawfully.

Is that correct? I didn't think it could be prevented because my room would be my domicile and also because of the preemption in the FCCA.Am I missing something?

That section applies to the FOID act, not those with carry licenses and is quoted from the ISP brochure. We expect them to update their transportation brochure in the coming weeks.

"It does not take a majority to prevail ... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." --Samuel Adams

The "assuming no local ordinance applies" part in regards to keeping a firearm in my hotel room. My hotel room is my domicile. No local ordinance prohibiting a firearm in my hotel room would be valid. Additionally the preemption in the FCCA would prevent it anyway. The quoted language is from a badly written paragraph on an ISP brochure. I can't find anything in the law that would support any of it unless I am missing something.

Additionally, isn't there preemption on transportation of all firearms? Not just handguns?

I get this error (file is damaged and can't be opened) if the file is saved with the menu option rather than the save button at the bottom middle of the screen (appears when the mouse is floated there).
